The Pecan Park Eagle

Sunday, August 7, 2017
The statue of Craig Biggio at MMP is completing the 4-3 play he does everyday, apparently across the bush to the statue of fellow Astros Hall of Famer Jeff Bagwell.

Any Other Day at MMP ~
Biggio now stands in front of the bush to make the Bagwell play. ~ So how was Craig able to get behind the bush this past Sunday? Was he seeking shelter from the rain under that tree?

The Astro Tree

By Bill McCurdy

I think that I shall never see

A DP messed up by – a tree.

A tree whose Houston mouth is sipping

All those sweet water skies keep dripping;

A tree that looks at Bags all day,

As Bidge throws hard to make the play;

A tree that may in Summer bear,

Some nearby echoes of despair;

But now – more often – it’s the roar,

Of winning madness – we explore;

Never forget for a moment – the men in bronze outside;

Their 4-3 perfection daily – is forever’s all-weather tide.

And thank you, Craig and Jeff, – wherever you may be;

For steering Astro spirits – from here to sweet eternity.
